Where to Watch Lyon vs Manchester United in Europa League for Free?
Still holding onto hopes of securing the Europa League title to conclude a disappointing season positively, Manchester United journeys to France to compete against Lyon at the Groupama Stadium in the first leg of their quarter-final match on Thursday evening.
The two teams have met four times before in the Champions League, the last encounter occurring in 2008 when the Red Devils claimed the title, but this match marks their initial meeting in the Europa League.
Achieving European qualification through the Premier League is an unrealistic goal for Man United, who are on track for their worst-ever season in the league as they currently sit in 13th place with a mere 38 points from 31 matches, trailing seven points behind the top half of the standings.
However, Europa League success is still within reach, and Man United remains the sole team in this season’s tournament that has not experienced defeat, recently overcoming Real Sociedad 5-2 on aggregate in the last 16, with captain Bruno Fernandes scoring a spectacular hat-trick in a 4-1 second-leg triumph last month.
After dealing with a seven-game winless stretch across all competitions from mid-January to early February, Lyon has secured victory in seven of their last 10 matches, including six wins in their past seven encounters, during which they have netted 19 goals in total.
Having finished sixth in the 36-team Europa League table earlier this season, three spots below Man United, and following a dominant 7-1 aggregate win over FCSB in the last 16, Lyon is now striving to reach the semi-finals of a major European tournament for the first time since the 2019-20 Champions League. Nonetheless, Lyon has never triumphed over Man United in their four previous encounters. Meanwhile, they have also experienced defeats in each of their last three two-legged matchups against English teams.
Lyon have suffered a major injury blow before Thursday’s clash as winger Ernest Nuamah is ruled out for the rest of the season with an ACL injury sustained in the opening seven minutes of last weekend’s win over Lille.
Malick Fofana is also sidelined with a knee problem. Nuamah was replaced by in-demand attacker Cherki, who has recorded nine goals and 18 assists in 36 games this season – including eight assists in 10 Europa League matches – and he is expected to join Thiago Almada and either Lacazette or Georges Mikautadze in the final third.
For Man United, Lisandro Martinez (knee), Amad Diallo, Ayden Heaven (both ankle) and Jonny Evans (back) all remain sidelined with injuries, while Matthijs de Ligt (ankle) and Kobbie Mainoo (calf) will be assessed ahead of kickoff, the latter of whom has returned to training.
Luke Shaw is available for selection after four months out with a troublesome hamstring injury, but Patrick Dorgu is expected to retain his spot at left wing-back, while Harry Maguire is fit to continue at centre-back despite coming off early in the Manchester derby. Mason Mount is another in contention to be involved and could feature in midfield or the final third.
